Sofia looks nice, she is showing that she is adapting to dressing the part that she plays in the royal family which is good. She is learning and that sometimes takes time and mistakes on the way. Now *what hair cut*, she still has long hair, all I see is a different style and it looks nice on her. Love her make-up, it is soft and glowing, (having a baby does make a woman glow) and love those earrings, those are gorgeous.

Now Prince Carl, in this picture he looks like he used less grease on his hair, it looks clean and healthy for a change. This is one of the best times I have seen him in for a very long time.

I love the colour of Sofia's dress, it's beautiful and suits her well. I want to like her jacket, but something about it is putting me off, and I can't quite put my finger on what. I prefer Sofia's usual hairstyle but the one she wore tonight is not terrible.

Please be respectful of all opinions - positive, negative, in between. If you cannot do that, the moderators recommend that you go elsewhere. Also a reminder that comparisons between royal ladies is not something we encourage.

Fashion is subjective, there is no right or wrong - something can be 'awful' to one person while the same thing can be 'gorgeous' to another. And everyone, as long as they are not attacking anyone and are respectful, is allowed to state their opinion.

Carl and Sofia went to the concert tonight, she wore a knee length blue lace dress with long sleeves and a v neckline, her hair was loose with waves and her make-up just soft. She looked really great, I like the dress, being a lace lady, a nice lace dress is always perfect and this one was very nice, it goes with her eyes. Nice earrings with a blue stone of some kind and gold dangle of some kind, I am not good at describing things. Both looked very happy and delighted to be there, I am getting the impression that she is good for him.

Only thing, I wasn't crazy about the black tights, but recently I learned that they are worn by women all the time in the winter in Sweden, so it is okay to keep warm.
